Letter: Hypocrisy abounds in Republican Party

Party's actions run counter to its rhetoric.

Editor:

Recent articles in your paper have convinced me that some Americans will swallow anything, from detergent pods to the Republicans' regurgitated trickle-down myth. Give some folks $1.50 per week and they'll support tax breaks worth hundreds of thousands to the private school/private jet set.

Today's "party of working folks" deregulates industries such as coal that have killed people by ignoring regulations and chemical companies that have poisoned entire cities' drinking water. The sad irony is that both tragedies occurred in West Virginia, the most loyal of Trump states.

The law and order party attacks the FBI. The party of security released classified information to Russians in the Oval Office. The fiscal responsibility party has added so much to the deficit that the treasury secretary (who made a fortune foreclosing on "forgotten" Americans) just reported the debt limit must be raised months ahead of schedule, no doubt setting the table for cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Most remarkable is that they can stomach repeated contacts with Russia, a fact beyond dispute. The attorney general lied, the national security chief pleaded guilty to lying, White House aide Jared Kushner lied repeatedly, Donald Trump Jr. told lies abetted by his father.

Chew on this: Why all the lies? Why are they so afraid of the truth? Also, chew on this: "What goes with borscht?"
